Wheat 1 to 3 cents higher. Corn 2 to 4 cents higher. Sorghum 4 cents higher. Soybeans 8 to 10 cents higher. Low overnight temperatures the past week in Kansas, Colorado, and Texas spurred concerns that parts of the winter wheat crop could have sustained damage. Crop condition ratings have been good many places due to recent moisture but some areas were missed and freeze damage is possible in places. Reports that Tunisia bought 6 million bushels of optional origin wheat with high odds that it will end up being EU origin also added strength to wheat. 1 here have been some reports also that some Chinese wheat areas are having drought problems with extremely low water levels at a couple of major dams. Slight declines in corn bids were due to forecasts returning to drier conditions next week More moisture is still needed to refill subsoil moisture. Slow export demand this week is limiting gains for all commodities Soybean bids were sharply higher in reaction to firmer meal and corn bids. Fund buying was fairly active on the Board today as USDA reduced ending stock estimates for soybeans yesterday. EXPORT SALES: PURCHASER COMMODITY .TONNAGE DELIV ERY DATE Nothing new to report.
